Important Information for Hotmail Users
« on: March 02, 2017, 08:07:15 pm »
 :police:

Hi there. I'm Joe, your unfriendly curmudgeonly Admin. How's it going? Wait: don't answer that; this isn't a two-way conversation.

Thanks to the frustrations of a few of our members, we have figured out that Hotmail is zapping all of our emails in order to prevent Hotmail users from becoming infected with computer macro virus Trojan horse rootkit worms.

By "our emails," I am speaking of any email sent by the SMF software: personal message and other alerts, password reset links, account activation links, etc. Because the From address (which is my email address) doesn't match the rest of the header, the email looks fishy, and while providers like Gmail are content to dump the email in the Trash or Junk or Spam folders, Hotmail goes that extra mile. For you.

So... for people who want to join but are on Hotmail: until we get this fixed, which we are trying to do, you might want to sign up using a Gmail account. Current members who have Hotmail: we figured out why you haven't been getting emails, and we're working on it, but again, if you really need emails, switch to a provider who isn't Hotmail.

Thanks, folks.

I heard that Martin Freeman, of Hobbit fame, and Andy Serkis, from LotR and Hobbit, were the only major actors who weren't of color in the new Black Panther film. Yep--this movie has gone full-SJW, and is so woke that it only included two Tolkien white guys.

Joe, just a heads up fyi. Tonight, when I got home, a whole pile of personal messages from here in my Hotmail email box, going back some period in time, but all timed as sent at 10.40 BST this morning. Might be worth checking issue out again?

I believe that's a symptom of us fixing the problem.

I hadn't noticed, but a few weeks ago, I stopped getting the notifications... and today, I got a bunch, too. Neat.

Hello, wanted to give you a heads up that at least one more email providers isn't working. I tried to sign-up several days ago with mailfence_com, but never got a confirmation-mail (yes, I checked my spam). Now I used tutanota_com, worked like a charm. oldfartyjohn
